'Get Fit for Business' Seminar and Workshop Series Launches in the West Midlands

BURTON-ON-TRENT, England, October 4, 2010 - West Midlands based Microsoft Gold Partner Syscom PLC,
www.syscom.plc.uk, is launching a series of seminars and workshops
designed to help companies get technologically fit for the business
opportunities that forthcoming major sporting events are bringing to the
area. The first in this nationwide series of free business seminars and
workshops will be held at The National Brewery Centre
(www.nationalbrewerycentre.co.uk/), Burton-on-Trent on Thursday 11th
November. Commencing at 10am, the half day event will include tips from
Commercial Doctor, UK specialists in capturing business from sports
infrastructure projects, and insights from Microsoft on exploiting
technological change for competitive advantage.

"Events such as the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games are creating a lot of business
opportunities for companies of all sizes across a wide variety of sectors,"
says Debbie Wesley, Marketing Manager of Syscom PLC. "We've already had a
number of enquiries from companies realising the importance of making
strategic software investments and process changes in preparation for
increased business. Unfortunately, however, many organisations are missing
out because they aren't ready to effectively tender for contracts. Companies
who are unable to evidence to buyers that their infrastructure, systems and
processes enable efficient and reliable delivery of orders and projects
usually find that they aren't shortlisted. As software and technical support
providers to the manufacturing, distribution, apparel and textile
(www.syscom.plc.uk/) sectors for over 35 years, we specialise in
helping companies 'get in shape' to manage increased business and fulfil
contracts. Through these seminars and workshops we will be arming decision
makers of UK businesses with knowledge of how they can prevent costly IT
downtime and adopt robust, integrated systems to become more competitive,
profitable and efficient."

Companies who have recently experienced success from process
and system reviews will also be sharing their insights on streamlining
operations and securing a return on investment. To complete a morning of
information, inspiration and advice, this first 'Get Fit for Business'
seminar and workshop (
www.syscom.plc.uk/Get_Fit_for_Business_Seminar_and_Workshop.aspx) will
conclude with a complimentary tour of the National Brewery Centre. "Many
organisations have already expressed an interest in taking advantage of this
unique opportunity to hear from a range of business gurus," says Debbie, "so
we would urge companies to register their interest early as availability is
limited." To find out more, visit www.syscom.plc.uk or call Valerie
